Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Interview

HomeLAN - We have heard that the single player campaign will have some non-linear elements. Can you talk more about the storyline and how it will be presented?

Kenn Hoekstra - The bulk of the storyline is still being kept under wraps because there are a number of surprises in store for the player along the way.

As to how the story will be presented, Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn will send the player on missions to further his or her Jedi training. The player will be presented with a series of missions and can complete them in any order they wish. You can choose the mission you want to undertake, the force power you want to train in, and the weapons you want to bring with you. You can complete all of the missions available to you, or skip some (at the cost of the ability to gain or advance in more Force powers). At certain points you will advance in the Jedi Academy hierarchy and new missions, saber styles and fighting styles will become available to you.
